Pro Tips & FAQs
How do I make waffles extra crispy?
Cook them a bit longer and place finished waffles on a wire rack instead of stacking them to stay crisp.
Can I freeze waffles?
Yes! Let them cool, then freeze in a single layer. Reheat in a toaster or oven for that fresh-made texture.
Can I make them dairy-free?
Absolutely — substitute almond or oat milk and use vegan butter.
